This week in Rome, the HLPE-FSN drafting team is hard at work on the report "Building resilient food systems." Different positions and visions are coming together. The team is shaping definitions, examples, and pathways, and identifying gaps in both literature & practice.🧵

🧵The team is making great strides in analyzing the structural vulnerabilities of food systems that shape the impacts of shocks and stresses on people and nature. ➡️Transforming food systems requires a holistic and equitable approach.

Honored to be part of drafting team for 2025 @hlpe_cfs report. An intellectual and policy challenge to reflect on resilient food systems at a time of intertwined socio ecological breakdowns & cooptation. How to bounce forward and elsewhere rather than back to unequal status quo?

Financing just transition to sust & fair food systems is key & urgent. But we hear the same mantra as in climate: funding gap; blended finance; de-risking private $$. Subordinating future of food to banks and shareholders is not just nor fair. @CSM4CFS @EU_EESC @eaAgriFood

Enrollment is open for 2025 winter/summer school on Critical Approaches to Food Systems Law and Policy. Because law and policy alone will not revert the state of permanent food crises in which many food systems are, but we need more legal commitment. uantwerpen.be/en/summer-wint…

Israel must stop violent settler attacks on Palestinian farmers that threaten their olive harvest -UN experts warn. Restricting olive harvests, destroying orchards & banning access to water sources is an attempt by Israel to expand its illegal settlements. ohchr.org/en/press-releases/…

Words can't capture aspects of the horror of Palestinian life during the current starvation campaign by Isr. Nor do words alone adequately provide a vision for a better future for Palestinians & the world. ➡️Illustrations from my newest report: ohchr.org/sites/default/file… 🧵 /1

90% of all labour that powers the world economy—and 93% of all manufacturing labour—is performed by workers in the global South. Any political theory that does not foreground Southern workers as key agents of revolutionary change is simply missing the point.

Israeli occupation forces killed Professor Ahmed Abu Labda of Islamic University of Gaza, his mother & daughter in a missile strike on their home in Gaza. Prof Abu Labda was a signatory of the powerful open letter by Gaza academics & admins to the world. May they rest in peace💔
